There are so many bizarre inconsistencies across the omnibuses. I mean Just look at the Hickman X-Men omnibus against X of Swords and HoX / PoX? It feels like they don't have consistent art direction. But yeay, I agree with you. Those unique logos make the books look way better.

Thanks for explaining the real life origins between the existence of Swamp Thing and Man Thing, I'd always been curious about that and figured one must be a simple attempt at ripping off the other. The truth was far more fascinating than that. Very strange how some pages in the new printing are coloured differently, yet others matched the original perfectly. BTW, is there a special prize for accurately counting how many times you accidentally said Swamp Thing during the video Omar? 😉 So easily done and I can't help wondering how many takes ended up on the cutting room floor...

It's great to see an older omnibus like this reprinted. I wasn't aware of omnibus collections when they first began appearing, so missed out on a lot of stuff I wish I could have bought at reasonable prices. I figured this one would probably never get a reprinting, so i bought a shrink wrapped copy of the original printing for around cover price a few years ago and have never regretted the purchase. I'm always hoping Marvel reprint those other early omnis like X-Men Vol. 1, Mighty Thor 1, and Iron Man 1 & 2, all of which go for multiples of the cover price nowadays. It was cool to recently get new printings of Silver Surfer 1 and Captain America by Jack Kirby, which I've longed for, so perhaps they'll get around to the others in time. Thanks for the overview and pointing out the differences between the two editions, Omar.

I'm doing a re-read of my Claremont Uncanny X-men omnis, and just yesterday read the UXM 144 meetup with Cyclops, Man-Thing and D'Spayre. I rather enjoyed that issue, as it was a nice shift in pace (looking back those issues between Days of Future Past and the Doom/Arcade story were fun and underappreciated). I hadn't considered this omni, as for some reason I had for some reason always considered Man-Thing a Swampie knockoff, but this has me quite tempted - provided I have the shelf space. Great overview and thanks for the video!
